3/4

These tortillas were fabulous. I doubled
the salt as others recommended. I also
rolled mine out paper thin. Once a
tortilla was cooked I placed it in a
towel lined plastic bag to keep the
steam on them. They were soft and
delicious, not tough at all. I will
DEFINITELY make this recipe again! The
rolling out is a bit labour intensive
but worth the effort

I only gave this recipe one fork because the tortillas were tough and flavorless. I didn't have my grandmas recipe on hand, so I used this one despite thinking there wasn't nearly enough fat or salt. I was right. And per the other review about shortening, I highly recommend using twice as much shortening as the suggesting oil in this recipe.

Followed directions exactly (except for doubling the salt and making the tortillas smaller) and it turned out great. Just thin enough, neither dry nor brittle. Yielded like a dozen tortillas.

Not as pliable as I would have liked. Some small changes. Doubled the salt per multiple suggestions and used shortening (could contribute to the crunch). Will continue to search for the perfect recipe.

Magnifico! My daughter and I had fun making them. We followed the advice of others and made them thinner and smaller. We also used vegetable shortening instead per the recco. of a iron skillet expert. It keeps the griddle from building up a sticky residue.

Magnifico! They were so
easy to make and
delicious. My 10 yr old
daughter and I had lots of
fun making them. We
followed the advise of
others-making them
thinner and smaller. We
also used vegetable
shortening instead as a
griddle expert advised
this. This keeps the
griddle from getting
sticky. We were able to
make 11 total. We'll never
by store bought again.

I have made this
recipe several times,
it definitely needs 1
teaspoon of salt or
seasoning. It is
delicious! You can
even make burritos
with it. If you make
the whole batch and
put it inside a big
zipblog bag it will
last 2 to 3 weeks in
the refrigerator, and
you can used it for a
quick delicious and
healthy meal. You
should try it with
scramble eggs, ham and
cheese! yum :p

The two times I've made these they've ended up like pita bread. I can't get them to go any thinner than that. What am I doing wrong :(

The tortillas turned out really try and brittle, and I did follow the instructions exactly! There was another recipe that used vegetable shortening, that one turned out a lot better.

The texture of these is great, but the taste is somewhat lacking. Still looking for a good flour tortilla recipie.
